English eating apples still available in March


Cameo

We grow a large variety of apples here at the orchard on Redmoor Lane, some of which are still available this late in the season. Cameo is one of the best keeping apples and should still be available to purchase throughout the country in April. It is a fairly modern apple, delicious and sweet.
Jonagold


Here at the Orchard Farm Shop we often say that Jonagold is for sharing. It's a large , tasty, sweet apple that has become a firm favourite with our customers.



Royal Gala


Royal Gala is known for its' good keeping qualities and its' pleasant, sweet flavour.




Ida Red


Ida Red is another really good keeper, and a stunning looking red apple, as well as eating it can be used for making apple sauce, cook with the skin on and you'll get a pink tinge to the sauce.


So you see if you have a farm shop near you there really is no need to buy apples imported from other countries even in March and April.
